Synopsis:
A magic jewel causes Superboy's super-strength and invulnerability to transfer to Lana Lang. Superboy is now vulnerable and is captured by criminals. They place him in a death trap which prevents him from escaping using his remaining powers. Lana comes to his aid, but falls when exposed to Kryptonite. Superboy eventually escapes using a super-shout. He and Lana then finish off the crooks.

A lunar eclipse then causes Superboy's remaining powers to be transferred to Lana. The magic is also causing Superboy's life force to be drained away. He and Lana then return to the magic jewel, which under the eclipse reverses its effects. Superboy regains his powers, then buries the jewel deep inside the Earth.
